A Celestial Immortal powerhouse with cultivation as profound as Lu Xiaotian's could hardly be an unknown figure in the Yu Xuan Celestial Court. After all, reaching a certain level of cultivation required the corresponding resources. It was impossible for the Celestial Court to directly control every place with abundant immortal energy throughout its territory. Some perilous regions also had places rich in immortal energy, but they were usually several times more dangerous, and the chances of growing stronger there were pitifully low.
Judging from the other party's conduct, he didn't seem to think much of the few of them; they probably weren't worth his notice. Leaving aside Lu Xiaotian's identity, it was still something worth bragging to friends about to have struck up a friendship with someone of such profound cultivation.
Even if Lu Xiaotian didn't appreciate it later, staying by his side meant they at least wouldn't have to worry about attacks from that four-headed Stararmored Nine-Segment Insect for the time being. Lu Xiaotian could protect himself against the creature, but they couldn't.
In that case, they might as well protect Lu Xiaotian while he cultivated. You didn't slap a smiling face, and no matter what, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't blame them for sticking their noses in. They might even forge a good connection. Besides, Lu Xiaotian had repeatedly lent them a hand, allowing them to escape the Stararmored Nine-Segment Insects' encirclement. Though he'd needed their help to share the pressure, they'd still benefited greatly from his care. They could also repay him a favor while they were at it. What was there to lose?
The four Celestial Immortals each took a position around Lu Xiaotian and sat down cross-legged as well. The battle had been savage, and fighting that four-headed insect monster had been a rare experience for them.
